Order Description

Content :
the title of your essay carefully to ensure you write about the subject from the appropriate angle and at a suitable depth. The essay deals with a current topic in molecular genetics so, where appropriate, you should make an effort to include recent evidence and ideas.

Writing :
For general guidance on essay writing have a look at the guides provided by Learning Development in the section marked Writing Skills. There is a web link to Learning Development on the MSc Blackboard site in Study Information. Your use of English grammar should be appropriate and your spelling accurate. It can be helpful to use the spelling and grammar tool in Word to check your essay. Remember that your use of English may affect the mark awarded for your essay.

Structure :
To ensure your essay has a clear structure make a plan before you begin writing. It is sensible to start with an introduction in which you can set out the question/problem/ topic and how you are going to address it. In your essay, aim to present a logical progression of explanations or arguments with references, followed by your own conclusions.

Figures:
You can use figures to illustrate specific points and it is best to draw these yourself. If you do base a figure on a published one then you should indicate that it is “adapted from…” or “redrawn from…”. Write a legend that allows the reader to understand the essential point of the figure. Do not copy legends.

References :
Your statements, arguments, hypotheses and any relevant experimental data should be supported by reference to the relevant published material (not web sites). A full reference list must be given at the end of the essay. Remember that citing a reference as a source of information does not mean you can copy the words of that source; it is simply a way of directing the reader to your sources of information. It is not appropriate in scientific writing to directly quote from your sources of information, so using quotation marks as way of avoiding plagiarism will result in your essay being given a lower mark.
References should be cited in the text by author name and year of publication. You should then provide full details of your references in alphabetical order in a reference list at the end of your essay.

For this final writing assignment of the term, you will be going beyond writing short essays to writing a research paper. You are asked to do background research (outside of course books and materials) on one single composer and his or her time period. Using evidence from the musical composition itself along with your background research write a 6-8 page research essay explaining how the composer reflected – or did not reflect – the particular historical and cultural environment. Please do not just summarize the composer’s life. Instead, in this essay you should seek to integrate relevant biographical material with your discussion of the music.
You may wish to consider such questions as: What were the identifying characteristics of the composer’s music, especially as shown in this composition which you are analyzing? What were the identifying characteristics of the music and the folk music of the country and time period? How do these characteristics mesh and influence one another?
This last Essay assignment is designed to synthesize or bring together your understandings of both environmental contexts and specific musical characteristics as you describe a musical work in its historical-biographical context. Please apply concepts and terms you have learned throughout the course in your essay. If relevant, you may quote from various resources (books, essays, online) etc. in your essay writing. Use APA format. You must attribute quotes and source use a simple footnote structure.
Use the following format for the research paper as your “guide”. Note the word “guide” because you may find a need, given the specific topic you have selected, to modify. Remember that this is a research paper – not a longer version of an essay. The research paper should contain the following format: Title page, Purpose of Study, Opening Statement, Assumption or Hypothesis, Discussion of Findings, Recommendations, Conclusion/Summary, and Reference Page.
The musical piece of choice is The Rite of Spring by Igor Stravinsky.

In this paper you will have to analyze this situation using all three major sociological perspectives learned. I need to see three paragraphs first paragraph conflict theory and its terms. Second paragraph about Functionalism theory and its terms. Third paragraph about Symbolic Interactionism theory and its terms. Please proceed to this website https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gln1JwDUI64 and watch the lecture by Dr.Michelle Alexander on how the prison-industrial complex has become a new and covert form of“Jim Crow” for many African American males. No summary needed for the speech. What I would like from the student is a paper that includes how a Functionalist, a Conflict Theorist, and a Symbolic Interactionist would interpret the information within this speech.

Terms and concepts must included for the three theory:

Conflict theory:
Bourgeoisie: the capitalist class who own most of society’s wealth and means of production.
Proletariats: workers or working-class people, regarded collectively.
class consciousness: awareness of your class position, and identifying with people who are in the same class position à organize political associations à rebel, revolution à classless society
False consciousness: workers mistakenly accept what the dominating class wants them to believe

Functionalism theory:
Manifest function: intended
Latent function: unintended
Anomie: Breaking down of the norms and values of society
Egoism: is the tendency of individuals to focus only on themselves in isolation from other people and social systems (such as groups, communities, and societies).
Strain Theory: people not achieving cultural goals legitimately feel anomie & become deviant

Symbolic interactionism theory:

Looking-glass self: the process by which a sense of self develops
Labeling theory: is based on the idea that behaviors are deviant only when society labels them as devian
Role-taking: taking the role of the “other”, to understand how someone else thinks and feels
Impression management: efforts to control other people’s impressions of us

 
In their article entitled, “Zulaykha and Yusuf: Whose ‘Best’ Story’?” Merguerian and Najmabadi state

variation as an emancipatory narrative for female sexual liberation within an Islamic tradition.”

Through your own reading of the Sura of Yusuf and through comments provided by a number of
contemporary scholars (files uploaded, you may use more), state your opinion as to whether you agree or disagree with the above statement?
